Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife

Chapter 1441: Chapter 1441: Hiding One’s Talent

”Phew... That was close.” Duan Feng continuously patted his own chest, slowly calming down his nerves.

”Diana, bring Qin Yu over here. Let him rest a bit and prepare for the rematch,” he said.

”Yes!”

He Ruotong stared intently at the big screen, speechless. Sixth from last? How could Horse Emperor be sixth from last?

He Ruotong kept her eyes fixed on the slow-motion replay. Soon, her eyes narrowed, though she couldn’t understand the situation.

However, He Ruotong was certain and sure that Qin Yu had been holding back!

Why would Horse Emperor hold back? That’s not like him at all! He has always aimed to be first. Was it for money? No matter what it was for!

I must follow this bet!

And make it a big one!

Cheng Sheng’s young companions also observed the rankings from the first round of the preliminary race. Seeing Red Horse qualify for the rematch with a standing of sixth from last, a mocking expression appeared on their faces.

This performance doesn’t imply that Red Horse was out of form. The real problem lies with Red Horse’s rider—such a clown!

That poor soul who bet a billion on Red Horse is in for a good cry!

Li Zongbing kept shaking his head, ”I’m really fed up; that clown of a rider is so lucky, just managing to scrape into the rematch by finishing sixth from last!”

”Yeah, such dumb luck! I wonder if he’ll have the same dumb luck in the rematch?”

”I reckon that the poor soul who bet a billion on Red Horse must be regretting it so much his guts are turning green!”

No sooner had he spoken than the data on the big screen refreshed. All the young people’s eyes widened. What the hell? How come the bets placed on Red Horse had reached three billion?

My God! Are you misguided souls rendered senseless by money? How could a horse that entered the rematch as the sixth from last have so much money riding on it?

You should know, Black Overlord and Green-faced Beast together don’t even have twenty million in bets on them! This is just too crazy!

Everyone looked at Mo Yuqi with incredibly complex expressions. Her expression was calm, seemingly oblivious to the heavy bets placed on Red Horse.

...

At the Race Committee, Guo Shiyu and several shareholders looked gravely concerned. Three billion! Three billion had been bet on Red Horse! If Red Horse won the championship, their Purple Mountain Racecourse would have to pay out nine billion!

”This isn’t normal, way too abnormal! Guo, you’re the most knowledgeable about horses among us. Analyze this, what exactly is going on?”

”Don’t rush, let’s watch the slow-motion replay first!”

Everyone calmed down. The large screen in the room displayed Red Horse’s race footage, and after watching the video several times, Guo Shiyu was completely puzzled—he couldn’t discern a thing!

It was normal for Guo Shiyu not to recognize Qin Yu, as he hadn’t seen the race between Qin Yu and the Western Horse King.

”Although this rider does act a bit flamboyant, he still possesses basic skills, and his movements are quite standard. The only shortcoming is his excessive weight, which could impact the racehorse.

Everyone must be quite familiar with Red Horse—strong in bursts, but lacking in stamina.

Yet, based on just this preliminary race, it seemed like Red Horse’s stamina was no worse than Black Overlord!”

”Could it be, Mo Yuqi, that little mistress, has been playing dumb all along?” one shareholder frowned.

Guo Shiyu gently shook his head, ”Impossible! I think there might be something amiss with the horse trainer, or maybe something’s up with the racehorse itself. Could Red Horse have been drugged?”
